About PROMISE: Maryland's AGEP

ABOUT AGEP

The National Science Foundation's Alliances for Graduate Education and
the Professoriate (AGEP) program is intended to increase significantly
the number of domestic students receiving doctoral degrees in the
sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), with special
emphasis on those population groups underrepresented in these fields
(i.e., African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Alaska Natives,
Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders). In addition, AGEP is
particularly interested in increasing the number of minorities who will
enter the professoriate in these disciplines. Specific objectives of
the AGEP program are (1) to develop and implement innovative models for
recruiting, mentoring, and retaining minority students in STEM doctoral
programs, and (2) to develop effective strategies for identifying and
supporting underrepresented minorities who want to pursue academic
careers.
